Character creation in this game is like playing a game of Takeshi’s Castle. There may be one who will rise on top, or there can be no winners at all
I tell new players to watch the korgoth pilot and tell them DCC characters are pretty much the henchmen that help him on his quest.
Thank you Skid for being the voice of logic in regards to astrology!
Skid just blasting everyone with truth napalm.
Underrated comment
There's a joke here in Brazil, when someone asks what is your sign, just answer Dinosaur. They'll most probably say "Ow, that's not a real sign" and you should reply "None of them are".
I always tell people my sign is "skeptic".
IIRC the only decent thing about Astrology is that it gave rise to Astronomy
You guys have GOTTA do a whole campaign of this game
Grant having his cutpurse immediately rob the quest giver gives very strong early RPG vibes. I'm sure we ran plenty of games in our teenage years that never got out of the initial tavern setting.
Ha ha ha!
"Hey! My brother went exploring this place and was the only survivor."
16 random people: "Hell yeah! Let's go!"
Skid's dedication to the Dan gag made me so happy.
Skid's sign is "Do Not Disturb." I feel that.
I kinda wish he'd just said that.
I mean, I love Skid - he's one of my favorites on the channel, and I don't believe in Astrology any more than Skid does.
But he definitely could have been less of an asshole about it.
Yeah, I get it, he thinks Astrology is stupid. Way to fail at reading the room and bringing the tone down to an awkward silence.
I didn't come out of this thinking Astrology was any sillier than I already do. I did come out of this with a bit less respect for Skid, unfortunately, as his attitude was just needlessly nasty to something the other players were having fun with.
Thank God. This style of game is perfect for you guys! I love DCC.
This is it. DCC, the holy grail of TTRPGs.
Most frustrating thing about the system is convincing people to try it. Tempering expectations is important. For as much as the have in common DCC and 5e provide significantly different experiences. I always felt terrible killing a PC due to bad dice rolls in 5e, less than five deaths over a few years. I've killed more DCC characters by orders of magnitude, never carries the same sting. It can take some players longer to buy into the idea of their random characters as opposed to low level heroic fantasy characters.
more like Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
David winters? Sign me up! I can't wait!
Legit loving David as a DM. His dead-pan style in the face of shenanigans' is gold.
What a great episode.
I bought Mutant Crawl Classics a few months ago, and really couldn't picture how the "funnel" was supposed to work. This is making it much clearer, so thanks!. Also, I'm really glad to see David Winters get some more screen-time. Good job!. I'm looking forward to the next two episodes.
Yeah MCC doesn't explain it well. A lot of MCC reads like it assumes you've read DCC.
"That is a THREAT! That is an imminent threat from Dan Hill!"
I had to go listen to the up top banter for GCP 284, "Quake Me Home Tonight" AGAIN. It's okay. That's only like the 15th time.
This is the single most heartless town of people I've ever seen in an rpg... I LOVE IT
This is the funniest episode I’ve seen. Y’all are a good pack.
If you play Pathfinder, you can easily grok DCC! No where near the crunch factor. The book is so huge primarily because every spell has a table, haha.
Skid’s Allan Partridge reference got me. I was in stitches.
skid's hilarious
David has such a great demeanor, love to see more of him on the network!
I've been rewatching a lot of the New Game Who Dis stuff, and I'm really enjoying all the different players and Gaming situations.
DCC Funnel should be the Judge torturing the PCs not the other way around lol Poor David.
GRANT IS SO PROUD! So am I! Go David!
Never mind, he was just gleeful at the chance to ruin a new GM's game by rolling 20 the hard way.
Woo! Thanks for running this - I love DCC
Glad to see David Winters coming out of the shadows!
I love that when David tried to reign in the nonsense by forcing them to roll on their shenanigans, Grant immediately rolls a nat 20 and keeps it going.
One of the better NGWD episodes. David, you did a great job! Hope we get to see more of you on the playing side. Impressive debut!
Oh my! It's full of stars!
Love the funnel system we use this style alot in Only War to see what players survive to become recruited by the Inquisition and Dark Heresy games. It's fun and gets you used to characters dying and to not get too attached.
I ran this one for a night of fun, it was great. Interested to see what they do with some of the stuff coming up.
The...ashes of a halfling..? Snorting the remains? Skid, that's Troy material!
Skid's sign is Stop.
Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan! Don't you do it, Dan! Dan! Dan! Dan!
Skid does a great Todd Barry.
for sure! love todd barry
1:52:30 - What a great ruling! Think David done a fantastic job DMing.
Matthew, don't gatekeep your Uncle's basement!
Im so happy david uses Dynamic light
Loving David as a DM hes got that cheeky sly smile and deadpan delivery.
I really like Steven Winters. Has to be one of my favorite cast members.
Once the seven sided dice start rolling.. ha!
I love how you went from Gaffigan to Regan. Two of the best comedy bits about food products ever.
Elf needs food badly
Woodcutter "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok!"
lmao Skid is one of my heroes
One of the very best dnd podcasts out there 🙌
my jaw DROPPED when i saw that rulebook
Holy shit skid with the Signs talk lmaoooo, literally never heard it put into words better
It’s a huge book.
Poor David. He’s herding cats. 🤣
Thank God!!!!!! We don't need a whole episode on creating characters then cramming into two lesser episodes. About time!
A bit late to the party, but "attacks of opportunity" do exist in DCC - see Withdrawl rules pg 95. How you define "active melee" though..... that's a ruling ;)
Fun session to watch!
this was so perfect! I wish I'd caught it live. Also DCC seems like such a fun system why do people not play more often?
Thank you Skid.
Subscribed because of Skid's views on astrology haha.
1) didn't realize how long Kate has been on the network 2) What ever happened to David Winters? He's awesome. One of us, like Kate. Finally 3) Ah, Grant. Miss him. :)
Why are there so few games led by David Winters? This guy is freaking bad ass.
Kate is so great on these shows. She’s so natural and relaxed and funny.
I hate when people threaten to pull their subscription if you dont do something. But if you dont keep David I'm pulling my sub. I love him so so much.
I subbed when I was poor as hell, because of Joe, giving up a good job to do what he loves and he is basically a big puppy. I dont understand the direction youre taking the network into yet, but David is too good to let go
Love me my gcp
Now it makes sense - Matthew and Scorpios are sassy. Char creation reminds me of WFRP - which I WISH they would play
Fun fact: Aquarius is actually an air sign despite having Aqua in the name :)
and its classified as the Water Bearer
Played thus funnel for my friends, it was a blast. Especially when 2 of them died on the front door.
Can't believe it's been 7 months already
6:31 What is the rest? Tables, tables you roll on lol 😂
late to the show..just bought DCC....great video .Subbed!
Awesome! Thank you!
Was getting repulsed by the zodiac talk, until Skid... THANK YOU SKID! for representing me.
Omg I just, more gold from new game who dis!!
You know.. I just had a thought. DCC could make an awdome Dark Souls game. With as lethal as it is.
Thank you Skid for keeping it real with astrology. And being funny about it too!
The dem-human race & class combos are D&D multi or dual classes characters - the Elf for example is a caster and a warrior :D
Skid is such a Scorpio 🦂
Good to see more DCC
I'm with skid on horoscope signs and I'm a Libra.
It can be kinda funny when you find thing that sound kinda like you or whatever, but too many people talk about it like it's their blood type and that's just... dumb
Love DCC !!!
Those character sheets all had very high stats for 3d6.
Hello ! Loved the players, loved the game ! Congrats !
I was wondering, where do you pick your music ?
I really liked it especially when the characters gather in front of the portal !
Ham and Cheese was the best, Skid!
David is awesome. Let's get rid of that Lavallee guy! :D
I think you aren't supposed to do intelligence checks and search checks so much in this game. I think in Dcc you are supposed to solve those things through conversation, questions, and specific actions described by the players.
"Finally let me out of my cage" Now Gorillaz is stuck in my head.
1:32:10 Praise Log!
I know your typical dnd group is going to joke around. I get it, my group is the same. But it would be nice sometimes to DM for a group that would cut the crap out (mostly) and actually role play what it would be like for level 0 nobodies to approach certain death.
Awesome
You could mention the name of the adventure, if I didn't own the DCC rulebook, I wouldn't know... otherwise nice example of roleplaying.. :)
It’s called portal under the stars. goodman-games.com/store/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/09/DCC_QSR_Free2.pdf it’s in the back of the quick start rules. So it’s free to get your DM to try with your group. The softcover rule book is also only 24.99. Comes with the pdf too. goodman-games.com/store/product/dungeon-crawl-classics-rpg-softcover-edition/ local game shop may have it as well or could order it.
Astrology--all the basic signs are off because A) the dates the sun are in that constellation is different than the ones commonly accepted and B) there are 13 signs of the Zodiac, with Ophiuchus being the one left out (not because it's small and insignificant--it's actually the only constellation named after a real human).
Looks like character gen can mainly be done on an Excel spreadsheet
Nobody ever asks Skid about what it's like living with a name so close to "skid mark".
David winters GM of season 2 A&A?
This was a great video! I am hoping someone can answer my question. What program is used here as a background to bring up the individual cams and roll20 screen on?
How did you obtain the character sheets / cards?
1+10+6
Grant: "18"
I knew I liked Skid...
Dis be da shiz!
Should remind them to burn luck :)
I'm with Skid on astrology. It's a fun toy to play with, but it's based on stargazing from before we had telescopes. I know I'm an Aquarius with a Scorpio rising and my moon is in Libra, but I still have to pay the same price every morning for coffee at Starbucks. At STAR bucks! Based loosely off the Lyrae constellation! The siren! The mermaid with two tails in their branding! The lyre's strings in her long hair. And they don't use astrology to determine whether or not I get a deal in my coffee? That's because it's all bunk. Scorpio ascendants should get free coffee. I'm just saying.
Did he say "eck cedra?"
Et cetera
How do you get the interactive map they use?
I think they mention the website PurpleSorcerer so Im guessing its from there
what vtt do yall use?
2:05:00
Count me in with Skid on astrology signs - just stupid. I love telling people that I'm a cancer or a crab. Lame
Just tell them that you're something not in the usual list, i.e. "I'm a Wolf!" or "I'm a Penguin!" and if they complain that's not a real sign you can respond that none of them are.
Skid is scathing and hilarious.
What Module is this?
Dan!!! 😭
Okay, so rolls go to stats in order? I might be more of a fan if you can move the rolls to desired abilities to support character concept. Also, I know in the real medieval days, and even these modern days, often folks get pushed into whatever jobs they can get, regardless of desire and/or strengths and weaknesses, but the characters are 100% randomized, without even one of them having a career that fits their strengths and weaknesses, ability-wise. (For example, a ditch-digger with no stamina would not be very successful at ditch digging and may even pass out constantly when exerting themselves in extreme weather conditions, a cutpurse with no agility?, etc.) I guess since many of these characters are slated to not survive, not much time spent in customization may be necessary. I guess the idea is that all but four of the characters are supposed to die, leaving the four survivors to advance to first level adventurer classes and be further customized? On the bright side, I love the actors, the DM and the artwork!
The idea of the game is to let the randomness of the dice drive your character concepts. If you're dead set on something in particular than this system really isn't for you or your style.
The low stamina ditch-digger might have a sickly frame from too many days digging in the hot sun. Maybe the average life expectancy for his occupation is very low (not unlike coal miners in some places today) so he figures why not take a shot on adventuring? A cutpurse with no agility may have been the guy in his gang whose job was to distract or con the mark, or maybe drive the "get-away horse". The idea is to feed your creativity off of the dice rolls and have fun with the randomness.
And you're also right that through most of history people just did what their parents did, regardless of their natural abilities. So in a way this is "accurate" for whatever that's worth.
Part of the philosophy is also to counter min-max via randomness. And if you want to justify it, even in modern life, most people are just average, even if they're doing something professionally. You might love something you're "naturally" bad at and pursue a career in it.
@@bobbycrosby9765 I agree, partially. While I abhor min-maxing or "gaming the game" in RPGs to start with, much more in favor of a good story. That said, even a "challenged group" if played well can succeed and have fun, if the DM allows. For example, you could have a player play a super-young character, or a character disabled in some way, well-played, with great personalities. The reality is, however, that, per 1st Edition, adventures are supposed to "exceptional" among others of their race. While we like to pretend "anyone could do anything", can anyone be a nuclear physicist? Can anyone be the NFL's most valuable player? Can anyone be on Seal Team 6? Could anyone be a grand concert pianist? Could anyone have been a great knight (noble birth aside)? No, those things were achieved through dedication and hard work, but also through exceptional physical ability, talent, and intelligence. A group of truely "average people" really have no business in the Underdark or the Ancient Red Dragon's lair, or even infiltrating the local bandit or goblin camp. Call of Cthulu, the original game plays like that and most everyone is killed or goes insane. A newer, more playable version, allows you to start off with slightly more exceptional characters with a lot better chance of at least winning a bar fight, if still to weak to challenge a Great Old One.
I know you don't tier the GCN players/GMs, but it's safe to say that David Winters is 5th or 6th at the best. I bring this up to say that at 5th or 6th tier he is INFINITELY better than most other GMs on other podcasts (no offense). Winters is fantastic, and if he's your "low guy", then GCN can only be the most-watched podcast in the near or recent future. Well done!
